I cannot even begin to comment on this song. I suppose I'll start with the beautiful and subtle musical crafting of it's form. Without using much more than rain sounds and a structurally repetitive accompaniment, she uses only her voice and chordal tension to produce the ebbs and flows of this song.
There seems to be no end to the topics that the lyrics cover. Regret, love, survival, depression, freedom...It speaks so well about life that I could write an essay on it. But it's all about forgetting about the sadness that isn't yours and living your life in such a way that regret cannot touch it, taking every chance and speaking every belief you have, even when it becomes so bad that you can't even stand the sight of people. The lyrics are actually not lengthy, but they speak so much in every line that this has become my favorite bjork song; maybe my favorite song of all time.
